The Gravestone Of Author Singer Is Finally Corrected

OTHER NEWS TO NOTE - NORTHEAST

June 20, 1997

NEW YORK — It was a mistake set in stone. The grave of writer Isaac Bashevis Singer identified him as a ''Noble'' laureate. The stone was meant to identify him as a Nobel Prize winner. Singer won the award for literature in 1978. This week, nearly six years after Singer's death, an engraver corrected the mistake. ''Isaac would have enjoyed the irony,'' Eve Friedman, co-author with Singer of the play Teibele and Her Demon, said in Thursday's The New York Times. ''But there was something kind of sad about it.''
